Actor is a fantastic alternative music record. I totally love listening to the songs on this album. There is so much that this album has to offer. There are such great compositions, the music fields very original, the music is very strong indeed. And even though probably the sounds …

Evil is a song by Andrew Jackson Jihad which appears on their album Can’t Maintain. The track opens up with a galloping-like guitar strumming pattern before the vocals pretty much immediately join in with a simple melody and a characteristic delivery. In the background of this track appears to …

Ransom “Pain & Glory (Co-Starring DJ Clue & Big Mike)” is a real good mixtape. Cosigned by both DJ Clue and Big Mike, Ransom is one half of the A-Team and he represents New Jersey. But with the split of Ransom & Hitchcock from A-Team, Ransom doesn’t …

Escape, one of the final tracks for Muse’s debut record Showbiz, is yet another one of Muse’s tracks which I’ve been listening to a lot recently along with Apocalypse Please. The first few bits of Escape open up with a very melodic sound with Bellamy leading the track …

Willie Nelson does this song called If I can Find A Clean Shirt. My first thoughts were that it was an odd name for a song. I thought it was a song about someone who feels sorry for Willie Nelson because he couldn’t find a clean shirt. …

Waterfalls by TLC is a song that is smooth going and sweet. I like the song because it sooths my mind and is not like other rap songs. The song talks about how guys need to stop chasing after things they are not going to get but waterfalls is …

There is something about this song, “too little too late”. I personally have enjoyed this particular music track so much, and there are a few remixes to it.
Personally, Jojo, the singer to the title song, “too little too late” has really captured my heart and I …

I don’t know who Ashley Simpson was until I heard the song “Pieces of Me”. I didn’t even know that she’s the sister of Jessica Simpson. It actually came as a surprise to me because they are so different from each other, personality-wise and style-wise. Quite frankly, I like …

Lil’ Wayne —“ I’m a Monster
The drought is one of Lil Waynes best mixtapes and it showcases how he evolved as an artist over the years. The mixtape opens up with “I’m a Monster”.
“I’m a Monster” gives the mixtape a very strong start. I think that this is a very …

Violent Pacification is a cover performed and recorded by Slayer for their album Undisputed Attitude. The song starts off with a very rapid bass line played by Araya, with a pretty bad tone I may add, with some guitars coming in and out to reinforce the rhythm. I will …

Fresh out of Generation X, Billy Idol certainly hit the ground running with his eponymous solo debut. While I wouldn’t consider it his masterpiece (that would be his follow-up tour de force Rebel Yell), there are still a lot of great songs here which I still enjoy as immensely …

Wake Me Up When September Ends, the final ballad from American Idiot proves that although Green Day may have faltered on previous ballads like Boulevard Of Broken Dreams or Are We The Waiting, they certainly pull it off very nicely in the end. As I have already said, whereas …

Looking for a new place to practice with my band I jumped into Google (as usual). A place called the FuzzBox came up and took a look into their website. Not much there on the site but decided to go down and look anyway. It’s actually only five minuets …

We rode in trucks by Luke Bryant is a song that makes me think of the small town I live in cause I know what it is like to grow up like he is talking about. Trucks are a common thing among these parts. This song shows how it …

One of my all time favorite Sugarland songs is Settlin’. It is a song about a woman who is tired of settling for less when it comes to men. She decides she isn’t going to take it anymore. I listened to this song more than one time when …

The Black Eyed Peas used to be one of my favorite groups but they have recently started to annoy me. All of their songs are heavily edited to the point where you wonder if you are actually hearing their true voices. They try way too hard at being “futuristic”, …

“Tonight She Comes” was a previously unreleased song by the band The Cars. The song appeared on their 1985 Greatest Hits album. Just the thought that they knew the song would be a hit, and the nerve to put it on a “Greatest Hits” album is just amazing. How …

When this album was released many people were disappointed with it. To be honest, I was a little shocked when I first heard this record as well. The thing is, this album sounds almost nothing like the debut album by this band. Their previous album, released in 2005, sounded …

This song is such a feel good dance song. I originally looked it up because one of my favourite music artist said it was his current favourite song. Now I look way past that and question why I did not know this song before! It is a combination between …

When your home or surround is rain, try to listen this song? Why? because the tittle? Maybe, but the music is match with the situation of rain, because it little bit melodize but still feel emo.
In this song, Hayley sing very well, because I think it’s pretty difficult in …

Some people say that Standing on the Shoulder of Giants is the first bad album by Oasis, while others say that it is their second bad album. But I disagree with both such statements. I disagree with the description of this album as a bad one. I think that …

I Am One is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins and the first song on their debut album, Gish. Opening with a drum rhythm, a bass guitar soon joins in the mix of the track before the rhythm guitar comes in and gives the track a fairly dark alternative …

I Get Wet is the debut album by Andrew W.K., a guy who seemingly appeared from nowhere with the release of this album in 2001, the music is heavy, but not heavy enough to be metal, it’s hard rock and every song here is about partying (or almost) the …

This album is the pinnacle of Bob Dylan’s career.During this time he reinvented the way in which the public experiences popular music.His songwriting skills are without a doubt intense, humorous, porphetic, whimsical, and highly entertaining.I have never in my life heard a man’s voice that is completely distinctive and …

Oneness by David & Steve Gordon is simply incredible. I think it is just about my favorite relaxing and calming audio CD that I have as part of my collection. The wind chimes, temple bells, traveling streams, flutes and more are just some of the instruments and sounds employed …

The Gift by Garth Brooks is kind of an odd song for him in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong it’s a very beautiful song but it has a certain Spanish flavor and tone to the song. That is something I would not have expected to hear in …

Nothing Else Matters, the second ballad on Metallica’s self-titled record, is another one of the stronger songs in this record in my opinion. If you notice, the stronger songs on this record actually went more in the melodic direction which emphasizes the change that Metallica went through from And …

I first heard this song on my boyfriend’s ipod. I completely forgot that I had even heard it before because while we were playing Monopoly, we were listening to his ipod and this song came on. I asked him what the song was called and who it was by, …

On some levels it is probably difficult to admit it, but, looking back at this album, and comparing it to the albums that Radiohead afterwards, this album indeed comes off rather badly. I personally think that this album is quite weak. And it is my mature opinion, which is …

“Survival of the Fittest” is Mobb Deeps second hit single from their classic 1995 album “The Infamous”. This right here is classic NYC hip hop at it’s finest. What Mobb Deep lacks in technicality such as flow structures, and finesse they make up 10 fold with gritty realism in …

Bad Omen is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album Peace Sells… But Whose Buying? Bad Omen starts off with a lightly distorted guitar riff which gives it this very eerie vibe, Mustaine’s tone for this riff is just great and matches with what he was going …
